Shrimp, Goat Cheese, Chive ABTs

dmourati

I made ABTs last weekend and have been dreaming about giving them a second go. To mix things up this time I went with a shrimp, goat cheese, and chive ABT. I took some photos along the way.



Mise en place. The cheese was a recommendation from the Whole Foods expert.

Ready with the jalapenos.

I used a plastic 1/4 tsp to clear out the seeds and membranes.

I added some Swamp Venom to the shrimp/cheese/chive mixture.

Wrap those suckers.

1 hour @350 indirect

Final meal. Chicken thighs, baked potatoes with some chives, ABTs, and some grilled asparagus.

Very nice! How were the ABT’s with the Goat Cheese?

Tasty. I wish I had my fire under better control so that the bacon was crispier all around. As it stood, I had kind of an ashy firebox and low air flow so couldn't get the fire as hot as I wanted and had to work with a lower temp and longer cook.

Nice change of pace. 

I had that problem with some softer cheeses and ingredients that cook quick I cooked my bacon half way on the Blackstone or in the oven and let them set for a while and then wrapped them. 

Then you can cook hotter and faster without destroying things like shrimp or cheeses like goat.

I have had good luck with, and prefer the taste of, ABTs made with really thin bacon. That way, you get the taste, but you also get the texture and taste of the other stuff.
